Faldage and Jackie

Now something needs to be explained maybe. Why did I ask you about the yes or no of using a dictionary. Well, because I thought that maybe people brought up words that are as hard to get from a dictionary as it is to guess them. I must have overestimated you guys.

So you can drop your arms over this misunderstanding I hope.It took me some time to clearly look at both you reactions.

It slowly dawned on me when you were talking on SQUINCH about grievances, Jackie. Gee,I'm a little embarrassed.

No, Faldage, no of course I don't want to be Hogmistress . I only want to learn to play that game , that's all. Just experience how it works. I only thought it more complicated than it really is.Thanks for your answer.

It's not meant to be particularly complex. But once in a while you come across a word that's simple, ambiguous, sassy, obscure, silly, unexpected, impish, whatever, and you say "Now wouldn't THAT make a great Hogwash word!" and Presto, you're a Hogmistress!

I'm disappoint nowI have been reading about this game and looking forward to having a go in next round...so when I arrived here today and saw new post in hogwash thread...thought, yippie.but NOjust a spam post. Shame on you.

There was a spam posting between Candy and Jackie's justprior to hers. The old ugg boot advertisement appeared.I reported it, and pm'd Candy as to what to do when theyappear as so many advised me when I just responded to thespam rather than using the 'contact us' button. Anutold me in an email that the site tries to eliminate thembut they are coming in from China now.
